This depends on your operating system of course.

In linux, you can open your terminal and type in the following commands:

Basically here what you are doing is viewing your log of IP's and then comparing the log after you talk with you victom. If done correctly, you should be able to pinpoint their IP. Also, you may need to clean your skype chat history, you could do this by channeling to the directory in your terminal and deleting the .skype file or rename it to something such as .bak

In Windows, there are certain sniffers that to my knowledge worked in the past, but did not give a clear pinpoint on who the user was. So let us look at a different way which should work. Mostly all of the information stays the same as the above (Linux), only you will be using command prompt (CMD) and executing the following commad:

Depends, between us and the ISP we can narrow down exactly who you are (given you aren't attempting to mask yourself).

Also, dynamic IPs stay with you for longer than you'd guess. They usually only refresh when your router goes down or they force a refresh on their end. Even with a dynamic IP your IP may not change for long periods of time.

The glass is neither half-full nor half-empty; it's merely twice as big as it needs to be.
